term for larceny. He was taken TO con-
Wet gang on the Western North Carolina
railroad, but escaped some months ago. and
nothing further was heard OF him until
Yesterday, when he notified the peniten-
tiary authorities here by letter that he was
In Raleigh, and that II they would send a
carriage for him he would return TO the
penitentisry. He gave the number OF his
house and the name Of his street. The car.
rage was sent, and with due ceremony
Mr.. Johnson was given shelter again in the

OFFICE SEEKERS.

There is the usual collection OF seekers
after Offices in the gift Of the Legislature,
and each member Of both branches will
have TO submit to the inevitable button
boiling Of these people. There are about
fifteen such positions, and though the pay
is small they are all considered well worth
fighting for. The Legislature can sit only
SIXTY working days, and its members are
paid only 81 day, or s24O session. 1t Is
probable that no State secures its leglsa'
ton al less prime cost than North Carolina.

Coming War.
Capt NalbrO Frazier, one of the best known
of the military men of Philadelphia, has re-
turned from two years sojourn in Europe.
While abroad he had long personal inter
view with the great commander of the Ger
man army, Gen. Won Moltk- Being pressed
TO speak of the interview, he said:
Il called on Gen. Won Moltke at his palace
just outside the gates at the end of the famous
road called Under den Linden. IL is a modest
looking house enough, notwithstanding its
high sounding name, and is not nearly so
handsome As Mr. Cbilds' or Mr.. SCOTS. After
| had sent up my card, the servant, coming
back, inquired particularly why l wished to
see Gen. Won Moltke. Because, said I, have
been soldier. and now that Gen. Grant Is
dead consider Gen. Won Moltke the greatest
military man living. The servant retired,
and in moment returned. In that case,
said he, his eScellency will he glad to see
you followed the servant up stairs and
into drawing room. As stepped across
the threshold almost stumbled against the
great general who was standing by the door
holding my card.
